Presentation Skills

Course Description 
A 2-day hands-on workshop for learning and practicing effective presentation skills.

In today’s business environment we are called on to make all manner of presentations, from informal ‘off the cuff’ discussions, to meetings, to more formal conferences and seminars. This workshop helps participants explore the dynamics and proven best approaches for all those presentation challenges. As this topic is best understood through action learning, participants are given a series of short presentation assignments which are reviewed and debriefed constructively.
